The CI Group ethos is encapsulated in our philosophy of ‘Changing Behaviours’

WELCOME

CI Group is a fast growing family of specialist marketing communications agencies that collectively comprises the exceptional expertise, strategic, creative and executional talent necessary to create powerful brands and to market and promote brands in the B2B, B2C and B2E sectors.

Every client brief, at its core, invariably involves leading, encouraging or motivating behavioural change and behind each of our different skills lies this single purpose.

We orchestrate these specialist skills to ensure we deliver outstanding campaigns and also have the agility to partner with other enterprises and specialist businesses wherever it improves the effectiveness of our solutions.

This includes analogue/digital media, film and video, global partnerships to enable cross border activities and neuroscience based decision making expertise that dramatically increases the effectiveness of campaigns.

INSIGHTS BASEDEFFECTIVENESS

In addition, each of our agencies, however specialist in knowledge and experience, share the common vision, strategy and process that enables collaborations to deliver integrated, multi-discipline campaigns.

Across the CI Group we use the common insight platform of our proprietary ‘Y’ shaped planning tool to ensure the seamless integration of the vital actionable insight that's crucial to powering outstanding strategies.

ABOUT US

The group started operations in 1996 when Corporate Innovations was founded.

After a success trade sale to Wembley PLC in 2000 by David Watt, he then later lead a management buy out, back from Wembley Plc in 2005 again taking the company private.

The company initially specialised in events and incentives quickly developing into rewards and promotions.

After a further eight years of successful years trading as a private company the decision was taken to add additional specialised services to offer clients more breadth and depth on marketing services, so the business began its acquisition strategy.

Since 1996, David has steered Corporate Innovations from its beginnings in hospitality through to the award-winning engagement agency it is today. During this time David managed a trade sale to Wembley PLC and after 4 years on the PLC board, running the events services division, he then lead a MBO to take the company private again in 2005.

Under his leadership, and through a series of acquisitions, he has transformed the company into the group of agencies, driving behavioural change through communication and marketing strategies, whilst maintaining continuous growth and profitability for stake holders.
